Qian Xiaoyong hurriedly said: He is from the countryside, has never taken the test of a refiner, so he himself does not know what level it is. Based on his words, I estimate that it should be above level four!
Zhang Tianshi, upon hearing this, looked at Qian Xiaoyong for a moment. Qian Commander, if your cousin is really a refiner of fourth or fifth grade, can you talk to him and have him join the city lord's mansion? The treatment is not a problem. As long as he is willing to come, everything can be discussed!
Qian Xiaoyong shook his head upon hearing this. "It's not that I don't want to help with this matter, Lord City Master. It's because this person is rather conservative. I also wanted to bring him to the military camp and give him a position, but he turned it down. He told me that if he wanted to be an official, it would be as simple as a word, but he doesn't like being an official, nor does he like being constrained. He prefers it this way. He's used to being laid-back and doesn't want to stand out or make a name for himself. He only likes freedom!"
Zhang Tianshi was shocked upon hearing this, and looked at Qian Xiaoyong in disbelief. "I've never heard of such a person," Qian Commander. "Where is there someone who can't be tempted by money and power? I really can't believe it. When do you plan to bring your cousin to the city lord's mansion, so I can see what kind of person he is!"
Qian Xiaoyong, upon hearing this, hurriedly said: "I will definitely bring him over to pay respects to the Lord City Master once I have the chance!"
Zhang Tianshi shook his head upon hearing this. "Don't say that, Qian Commander. According to what you've said, your distant relative is likely a senior master from the outside world. I really do want to meet him urgently!"
Qian Xiaoyong shook his head upon hearing this. "The Lord City Master has seen all kinds of people. My cousin is still young, and I'm afraid he may not be well-behaved and accidentally offend the Lord City Master. It's better to wait for a while, until he adapts to the environment here. I will then bring him to pay respects to the Lord City Master!"
Zhang Tianshi nodded upon hearing this. "Since Qian Commander has said so, I won't be too insistent. Once you bring him here in the near future, it will be fine!"
Qian Xiaoyong hurriedly said upon hearing this: "Thank you for your understanding, Lord City Master. I will definitely bring my cousin to pay respects to you as soon as I have the chance!"
Zhang Tianshi shook his head upon hearing this. "Qian Commander, you've also worked hard. Please go back to rest soon!"
Qian Xiaoyong hurriedly said upon hearing this: "Thank you, Lord City Master. I will excuse myself now!"
Zhang Tianshi nodded!
Qian Xiaoyong returned to the camp and urgently sought out Mo Wenjie, "Brother Mo, let's go to the Alchemy Association!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qian Xiaoyong, who was moved in his heart. Brother Qian, you have just returned from your mission, so take some time to rest and relax. Once you are well-rested, we can go to the Alchemy Association anytime!"
Qian Xiaoyong laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Brother, you don't know how anxious I am. I also want to know your rank as a refiner. Without an answer, I'm feeling quite restless myself."
Mo Wenjie smiled and nodded upon hearing this. "Alright, if that's the case, let's head to the Alchemy Association!"
Qu Honghai said hurriedly upon hearing this: "I'll go along too to see what rank of alchemist Brother Wenjie is!"
Qian Xiaoyong looked at Qu Honghai upon hearing this and said, "Brother Qu, if you don't feel tired, you can come along with us. We have no objections. Let's go now!"
Qu Honghai said excitedly: "Let's go now."
The three of them walked together towards the Alchemy Association. Although YunDu City is vast, riding on horses, they were not slow. Soon, they arrived at the Alchemy Association.
Mo Wenjie dismounted and greeted the guard at the entrance of the Alchemy Association. "Excuse me, I want to take the Alchemy Apprentice Test. Can you tell me where I should go?"
The gatekeeper asked in a hurry upon hearing this: "Are you interested in taking the test for a certain rank of alchemist?"
Mo Wenjie looked at the gatekeeper and asked, "Is the test for alchemists quite popular with many people?"
The gatekeeper shook his head and said lightly: "There are several levels of Alchemy Apprentice Test, and there are corresponding Alchemist Testers for each level. Of course, currently in the Alchemy Association of YunDu City, only the fifth-grade Alchemist Testers are available, so the highest level of Alchemy Apprentice Test is also the fifth grade. You need to know what level of Alchemy Apprentice Test you want to take before I can inform the appropriate grade of Alchemist Testers!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the guard upon hearing this and said, "Then please inform the fifth-grade Alchemist Tester. I want to take the fifth-grade Alchemist Apprentice Test!"
The guard looked at Mo Wenjie upon hearing this and said, "Are you not feeling unwell? Why are you talking nonsense? It's impossible for you, a young man like you, to become a second-grade alchemist. You already know how difficult it is for an alchemist to advance to the next level. I'm not trying to discourage you. You, as a young man, tend to be ambitious but lack real abilities. Your pretending skills are not comparable to anyone else. I advise you to leave here immediately. This is the Alchemy Association, not a place for you to cause trouble. If the president and other leaders of the association find out about this, you'll have a hard time! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said lightly upon hearing this: "Why are you so stubborn? I only asked you to notify someone. What's the point in saying so much unnecessary stuff? It's my freedom to decide what level of alchemist I want to test. Can you make that decision for me? Even if I can't test at the fifth-grade level, I can deal with any consequences, whether it's compensation or handling, I'll take care of it myself. Is it really necessary for you to act this way?"
The guard gave Mo Wenjie a cold look and said, "You said you want a notification, so I'll notify? Do you think the Alchemy Association is like that, where you can do whatever you want?"
Mo Wenjie was so angry upon hearing this that he became as red as a boil. "You, a guard, can be so arrogant! It seems that the Alchemy Association isn't worth much," he said before turning around and walking away!
The guard hurriedly blocked Mo Wenjie's way upon hearing this, "Is that it? You just wandered around the entrance of the Alchemy Association? Don't you know that showing disrespect to the Alchemy Association is punishable by law? What you just said was highly disrespectful to the Alchemy Association. Today, you must apologize and make amends. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the guard, "What do you want from me? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble with me?"
The guard looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "No matter what, you can't leave the Alchemy Association today without apologizing and making amends!"
Mo Wenjie was so angry that his whole body was trembling. "This is not the Alchemy Association, but a bully!"
The guard shouted loudly, "People! There's someone causing trouble at the Alchemy Association. Quickly notify the Left and Right Protectors, and have this rascal apprehended at once!"
In a flash, a group of people came out from the Alchemy Association. They were all rotund and chubby, standing in a row, looking somewhat like they had undergone training!
Qian Xiaoyong, upon seeing this, walked over to Mo Wenjie and said to him, "Brother Mo, just stand by and watch. This is reality. You'll soon experience the difference in status. Tell the President and Vice President of the Alchemy Association that Commander Qian Xiaoyong from YunDu City's Three Military Command has arrived!"
The guard, upon hearing this, hurriedly said with a smile, "Commander, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform the elders of the Alchemy Association myself!"
Qian Xiaoyong nodded and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly. I have other things to do!"
The guard, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, "Commander, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon!"
Qian Xiaoyong nodded and said, "Go ahead quickly!"
The guard ran off happily to report!
Qian Xiaoyong looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Brother Mo, you're not fond of being an official, right? This is a stark contrast!"
At this moment, an elderly man of about seventy years old arrived at the gate. The President of the Alchemy Association, Du Qiaokang, said, "Commander, I am Du Qiaokang from the Alchemy Association. May I know what brings you to our association?"
Qian Xiaoyong pointed at Mo Wenjie and said, "This is my brother. He wants to take the Alchemy Apprentice Test."
